Video about Henri Cartier Bresson

Here is a multi-part video about Henri Cartier Bresson. This is yet more evidence that I must learn French since this video is in French. It’s still fun seeing footage of Bresson doing street photography.

Contest to win a Leica M9 owned by the singer, Seal

I don’t normally plug contests, but this one is pretty darn cool.

Here’s your chance to win a Leica M9, not just any Leica M9, but one owned by the singer, Seal. He has donated it as a prize to Steve Huff for use on his blog. As posted on Steve Huff’s site, Seal is a true Leica lover.

This is one beautiful camera.

Just follow this link directly to the contest on stevehuffphoto.com, jump through a couple very small hoops, submit two pictures and you might win. Good luck, though not too good of luck, because I plan on entering it too. My two dream cameras are the Leica MP and the Leica M9. I don’t believe any finer cameras are made.

By the way, Steve’s camera reviews are always worth reading. There are reviews, articles and a forum to be found on his site. So check it out.

To round this all out, here is a person working with cyanotype cloth with tea toning, first bleaching and then toning her print.
